Governor Mile DeWine has announced that the drinking water in Ohio is safe to consume after a chemical train derailed and caught fire in early February, leading to concerns about water contamination. The governor has reassured residents that the dark black air resulting from the fire has been cleaned up, and both the water and Ohio River have been deemed clean and safe for consumption.However, we should apply caution about such claims, particularly given the large area of damage caused by the chemical spill and the potential risks associated with fires and wind. It is always better to err on the side of caution in such situations.
